Two wounded in West Darfur ammo explosion
Two people were reportedly injured when a missile detonated in the military garrison of El Geneina, capital of West Darfur, on Saturday.
“We heard the sound of a huge explosion coming from the barracks of the 15th Infantry Division in El Geneina,” a resident of El Geneina told Radio Dabanga.
“It turned out that a missile detonated and wounded only two people, including a senior commander.”
The source said that the cause of the explosion was unclear. “Yet some people say that a number of old missiles are kept in the store where the explosion occurred.”
The Division nor the Sudan Armed Forces officially commented on the incident.
